P.A.C.E. STAGE TOURThe BearHigh Alpine Mountain Running Camp

Thursday August 9th to Monday August 13th, 20184 day high alpine running camp starting in Lake Louise and finishing in Revelstoke. This Camp will be limited to 20 people and will include 4 nights & 4 days of mountain running.

The focus of this camp is on long running days in the mountains, with some some days taking participants over 9,000ft. There will be some potential exposure, lots of elevation gain and travel in-between Lake Louise and Revelstoke is required. This camp is not a beginner camp and it is not a clinic. We will not be teaching folks how to run or hosting technique focused sessions and this camp is not suited for those who are new to trail running or uncomfortable with heights. Participants need to arrive physically prepared to run 4-5hrs (20-30k) per day or for a total of approx. 16-20hrs (80-10k) over 4 days.
